But this is only relative to the former Wancheng, which is the old city of Wancheng that Lujiang people often say today.
After Zhang Yan arrived in Lujiang, in order to introduce a large number of people and improve his strength, he brought back many people from all over China.
And for the residence of these people, he built a new urban area in the south of Wancheng from the very beginning, across the narrow Wanshui River from the old urban area.
In this comparison, as a standard ancient ancient city, Wanling County is naturally only half the size of Wancheng.
Previously Yang Feng said that this place is vast, but in fact it was mostly ironic.
……
Up to now, in the early hours of the morning, walking on the street of Wanling with a few familiar subordinates, Yang Feng not only always feels that this place is a bit petty, but also faintly feels a little uncomfortable for the dilapidated and depressed atmosphere contained in it.
They are also cities under the name of a big man, and the sun is just bright in the early morning. If it were Wancheng, you can vaguely see many farmers on the street at this time, carrying their heads and taking their own food. Went out of the city to work in the fields.
And as soon as there is this real traffic, small businesses and hawkers will naturally get busy.
Like those who sell tools, those who sell all kinds of bruises, and those who sell breakfast.
In Wancheng at the same time, almost as long as you walk on the street, you can easily feel the bustling, high-spirited atmosphere.
Of course, during this process, the sheriffs of Wancheng naturally put in a lot of effort.
Their busy patrolling figures are also part of the lively background of Wancheng at this time.
……
But the same thing, when it comes to Danyang Wanling County, it will be different.
Walking on the street, walking in the cold wind, Yang Feng and others not only couldn't feel the slightest popularity, but felt that the place was terribly depressed.
……
There was no movement.
No one moved.
……
This is the first impression Wanling County left on Yang Feng.
There is not a single person on the street here, and the gates of every house are tightly closed. I don't know if Wanling is caught in a war now, which leads to the city's appearance, or whether the people in Wanling City are just like this. A piece of virtue.
They don't go out until the sun is fully up.
Even Xu Huang who was following him, the man who had always given Zhang Yan a calm impression, couldn't help but be amazed at this depression.
……
"Mr. Yang, this place...why is it like a haunted place, with no one in sight?"
"Could it be that the people here don't need to go out to farm?"
……
Following Yang Feng step by step, Xu Huang couldn't help asking him aloud.
……
"Not farming?"
"Hehe, Gongming, you're joking."
Yang Feng shook his head regretfully.
Looking at his expression, I don't know what he is thinking at this moment.
"The people all want to eat food, and if they don't cultivate the land, what will they eat and drink?"
"The boundary of Danyang was already blocked by the surrounding mountains and mountains. Wanling is the county government, and the surrounding blockade is even more serious."
"If these people hadn't been farming, they would have starved to death at home."
……
"Then why are they...?"
Seemingly having some doubts about Yang Feng's words, Xu Huang asked again.
……
"I guess it's because of Sangoshi..."
This time, Yang Feng's words became somewhat straightforward.
……
"Gongming, I don't know if you have noticed, but in Wanling City, almost everyone has their gates tightly closed, as if they encountered robbers entering the city."
"As for those who haven't closed the gates, no matter how big or small they are, they can clearly feel the desolation and dilapidation in the courtyard."
"This shows what?"
……
"This shows that there is a great possibility that no one lives in those courtyards whose gates are still open."
……
"In other words, the population density of Wanling City is already shockingly low."
"There are even many households, one by one, disappeared in this city."
……
When he said this, Yang Feng's face couldn't help turning a little pale.
And there happened to be a gust of autumn wind blowing in the surrounding area, blowing on the deserted streets, and the fallen leaves and dust were flying, making the place even more dilapidated and dilapidated.
In this cold wind, Yang Feng gritted his teeth slightly, as if he was enduring something.
……
"Thinking that these people don't go out at night or early in the morning, they should have received corresponding lessons in this regard early on."
"Look at the blood, it's the best evidence."
……
Yaoyao pointed to a spot of blood in the corner of the dark alley not far away, and Yang Feng led Xu Huang and others into a small alley.
From the entrance of the alley, there were sparse black bloodstains that spread all the way to the deepest part of the alley, like a huge mouth that would devour someone, leaving a little bit of blackness and scarlet that ordinary people can't stand at the corner of the mouth.
……
"And these people are not fools."
"Knowing that living here means taking huge risks...then going out to work in agriculture and doing errands at the risk is a bit too embarrassing for these people."
"If you think about it... this is something similar to the rules of survival in Wanling County. It is the rules and regulations that every citizen must abide by if they want to live here.
……
"If you follow it well, you can barely live here."
"But once you violate the rules...the bloodstains in the alley will be the end."
……
It seems that something has been guessed from the different appearances here, whether it is Yang Feng or the few people behind him, the complexions are a little dark at this time.
……
"From this point of view, the gap between Lujiang and here is really too big."
"Lujiang has been in peace for a long time, and there is a significant gap in law and order. In other words, an ordinary commoner who was born in Lujiang under the current lord's rule, and a place like Danyang, is almost the same as living in a place like Danyang. Two worlds alike..."
To be honest, neither Yang Feng nor the others who followed him have seen such a scene of troubled times for a long time.
Entering this atmosphere suddenly now seems to have suddenly brought back their memories from years ago.
"Maybe we have been living there so that we can't feel the difference... It's not that the world is peaceful today, but our own prefect is a good official who loves the people like a son, which makes Lujiang have the current situation." popular."
"It's not that the world is peaceful, but that only Lujiang can be called peaceful."
Yang Feng spoke slowly and hurriedly.
……
"If our protagonist is like everyone in this world..."
"Then you and my brothers may be one of the pools of blood in the streets and alleys."
……
Chapter 26 Prefects cannot be generalized
"Let's go and meet the speaker here."
……
In just one stick of incense, Yang Feng got a general idea of the situation in Wanling City.
That is this place, let alone a foreign prefect appointed by a big man, even if you let the local people manage it, it will be difficult to recover without a situation of decades.
……
People are not the same as each other.
City and city cannot be generalized.
……
It is often said that if you see a spot in a tube, you can see the whole leopard.
If Lujiang is a rising star, the sun in its early or middle stage of the main sequence, then the current situation of Danyang can be known from the situation of Wanling, and it is clearly a look that has reached the end of the road look like.
Assuming that the people in Lujiang are already in the initial stage of transition from feudal imperialism to petty capitalism, then the people in Danyang are still living in the "starvation" state where they may die at any time if they are not relieved.
……
"Hey, let's go and see the prefect here."
"As for the people's livelihood...it's not something we soldiers should get involved in."
"When this battle is over, when the time comes to provide assistance, or what... It all depends on the master's arrangement."
